[sarcasm]Yeah, OFP is so complete, I don't think anyone should make any new units, ever. And, while we're on this topic, we really don't need any mods, campaigns, or mission packs. They are too creative and imaginative, and hence dangerous.[/sarcasm]

Yeah. I read about this thing in SOG by Maj. John Plaster. It would sure add a lot of realism and flexibility to some of the SpecOp type missions.

YES! I wish this was everyone's thinking... We should be able to (have the freedom to) make whatever vehicles we feel are necessary. It is the responsibility of the mission makers to decide what is appropriate (and balanced if I have to use that despicable term). </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Deathbysaw on 6:47 am on Nov. 29, 2001 If it exist and can be put in the game it should be put in it. <span id='postcolor'> (Edited by Oversoul at 5:15 pm on Nov. 29, 2001)

Not to mention the fact that the US already has FIVE helicopters.... <span id='postcolor'>

I agree, the UH-1 would be a great addon vehicle. I think it should be the very next vehicle to be added. Also, there is all this talk about the "SDK" (three-d object builder) floating around: 1. Has Bohemia or Codemasters explicity said they will develop such a thing? 2. If so, where was this said (website, heard it from my friends dog while I was on acid, etc.) 3. Did they say when?

THANK YOU for letting me know about this! I had no idea they were making a movie based on those events. THANKS!!! </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from NVA Killer on 11:17 pm on Nov. 24, 2001 btw TFR(Task Force Ranger) do it like this http://www.cinemayhem.com/blackhawkdown [/url] not / <span id='postcolor'>

They are making a movie based on "Blackhawk Down?"

Yes yes. Rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, and bogs would be a great (and realistic) addon.

A few folks don't seem to realize that we campaign makers could use these little knick knacks like bicycles. For example, I could use one in a cutscene for my Red Dawn campaign. You know the part where Toni rides up to the gas station where a Russian tank is fueling up. They take her "bag" and put it in the tank. Then BANG no more tanker crew :) Anyway the point is some people blast all the great ideas for addons because they can't imagine where it could be used. We should have all the vehicles (items) we want, and leave it to the campaign/mission creators to decide where it is appropriate to use them. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Jungle Bob on 12:21 pm on Nov. 21, 2001 U guys want the barbie dollhouse too?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Bye bye bicycle. WOW THAT WAS A THOUG FIGHT AGAINST THAT NASTY BICYCLE! U get my point....................... <span id='postcolor'>

Well if the wounding system has to be changed, that would probably require an engine change. In the past they've said that's not likely. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Scooby on 2:50 pm on Nov. 26, 2001 I've suggested before such thing that every soldier would carry small first aid package that has bandages with him and other soldier could give first aid to him which would consume first aid package of the soldier that was given first aid to. (you are supposed to use first aid package of soldier you are giving first aid to, not your own). Though to work in desired way whole wounding system in OFP would have to be changed.<span id='postcolor'>

I've looked through both official and unofficial command references and I haven't seen a way to create new units in the middle of a mission. Is this possible? ***didn't see icerhino's post ^_^ *** (Edited by Oversoul at 2:51 pm on Nov. 26, 2001)

I like your idea, Dirt. I hope it's done, but carefully. I don't want to see this great game turned into something else like a Doom or Quake-style "shoot and grab medkits" type thing. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Dirt on 1:47 pm on Nov. 26, 2001 I would like to see a first aid kit.

Yes. I am not impressed by "airborne" units that drop from helicopters. Helo's are great for inserting troops, but we need something to make airborne drops possible as well (and bigger maps to support them). </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Cane on 3:28 am on Nov. 25, 2001 It is usual to provide air support to field combat units, by dropping ammo crates or light units by parachute. I think the Ch-47 could be used for dropping ammo and medical equipment. And Bistudios could implement the A-130 which could drop jeeps, or stationary MGs, etc. <span id='postcolor'>

[sarcasm]After all, we're trying to model the real world, which we all know has absolutely no animal life, so let's just not add any animals...[/sarcasm] (Edited by Oversoul at 7:03 pm on Nov. 14, 2001)

I totally agree. BTW, I beat the mission you are talking about by running over the infantry (NOTE: did not work on the RPG soldier :) ). </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from Spears on 5:31 pm on Nov. 14, 2001 but still i mean i got ambushed on the way to a town i i could do nothing for my squad cuz i was in a humvee at least add a 50 cal maybe because all the pics i see have weps on humvee i meen you gota a jeep witha machine gun why not a humvee<span id='postcolor'>
